Sidewalk sleepers: They have nowhere else to stay while a loved one is in the hospital

Families in Delhi find themselves sleeping on hospital sidewalks while a loved one undergoes treatment due to a lack of affordable lodging. Despite financial aid for patient care, overnight accommodations remain a challenge, forcing many to seek refuge on the streets. This situation highlights a critical gap in India's healthcare infrastructure, where the system prioritizes treatment but neglects the basic needs of accompanying family members. The plight of these "sidewalk sleepers" underscores the broader issues of healthcare accessibility and support in urban India.
